Gold is universally valued as a stable, long-term investment, offering security and growth potential as its value appreciates over time, especially during economic fluctuations. Known for its resilience against inflation, gold serves as a reliable asset that helps preserve and even grow wealth.

Karlo Castro, President and CEO of Palawan Group of Companies — the Philippines' leading and most trusted pawnshop and remittance company — noted in an interview that gold prices have surged by approximately P300 to P400 per gram in the past few months.
